What are the pros and cons of living in Falmouth?

Expats, digital nomads and retirees living in Falmouth responded:

"Expats and digital nomads living in Falmouth, often appreciate the town's rich history, beautiful beaches, and vibrant local culture. They enjoy the laid-back lifestyle, friendly locals, and the opportunity to explore the island's natural beauty, including nearby waterfalls and lush rainforests. The cost of living is relatively low, which is attractive to many digital nomads. On the other hand, some expats and digital nomads may find the infrastructure in Falmouth to be lacking, with unreliable internet connections and limited public transportation options. Additionally, the town may not offer as many amenities and entertainment options as larger cities, which could be a drawback for some. Finally, safety and security can be a concern, as Jamaica has a high crime rate, although Falmouth is generally considered to be safer than other parts of the island," remarked one expat in Falmouth.
